2.5 cups

Ingredients

2 lemons

2 Limes

½ small seedless cucumber

1 tsp. sugar

salt

1 avocado

Directions

From 1 lemon, grate 1 teaspoon peel. From limes, grate 1 teaspoon peel. Place peels in medium bowl. Cut remaining peel and white pith from all lemons and limes; discard. Holding fruit, 1 at a time, over bowl with peels, cut on either side of membranes to remove each segment, allowing fruit and juice to drop into bowl. Discard seeds, if any. With kitchen shears, coarsely cut lemon and lime segments into chunks.

To bowl with fruit, add cucumber, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. If serving salsa right away, gently stir in avocado pieces; if not, cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours, then stir in avocado just before serving.
